No one could have imagined that the German team would shine in the World Cup with such a young squad, just like no one in Bern in 1954 thought that Germany would win the championship against Hungary. Also in July, the Germans, who were desperate after the war, ignited a stadium with their passion, and also ignited the fire of a country's reconstruction.
The family of 11-year-old Matthias Lubanski is a microcosm of postwar West Germany. A kind and hard-working mother, a sensible sister, and a rebellious brother who loves music. They lived a hard and happy life until their unmasked father came back. That all changed when his father returned from the POW camp. A middle-aged man with a frail body and a strong shadow in his heart makes the children feel like they want to run away. The story is very reasonable. A man who has been humiliated after the war is the ruler of a family. Below is a hard-working people living hard to rebuild and get rid of the shadows, just like Matthias Lubanski's father. , the ruler wants to paint a new blueprint for a country, but he is at a loss because of the long-term turmoil.
Eventually someone escapes, and the man learns to communicate and be reborn in the child's escape. We are very envious of the little boy living next to the world champion. Rahn is more like Matthias Lubanski's father than the middle-aged man. Indeed, a broken nation needs a spiritual icon. The child's father finally let the child come to Lahn's side at the last moment of the game. He brought good luck to Lahn as always, and Lahn scored two goals and became the hero of the miracle for the German team.
Perhaps Matthias Lubanski did not understand that the good luck he brought not only made Rahn a hero by scoring goals, but also made the Germans who were on the verge of despair see hope in life. This is a sign of an era: the miracle of Bern. In those turbulent times, football was the only God in the world, the only Noah's Ark...
